KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Top-ranked Kansas hasn’t lost since Baylor stunned the Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse in January, that run of excellence driving coach Bill Self’s squad to another regular-season Big 12 title and the top seed in the conference tournament.

Better not let that winning streak end any time soon.

The Jayhawks (28-3) know all too well their next loss ends a dream, whether that’s to win the Big 12 Tournament this week in Kansas City or the NCAA Tournament beginning next week. Kansas lost to Iowa State in the league tourney final a year ago, and didn’t even make the championship game three years ago, when the Cyclones beat West Virginia for the crown.

“It’s win or go home from here on out,” said the Jayhawks’ Devon Dotson. “I know all of us are locked in in that locker room. No distractions. We’re looking to do something special coming up.”
